On our honeymoon to New Zealand, the least expensive flight stopped over in Fiji, so we decided to add on a few days before hitting the Southern winter. After an extensive search of where to stay and what to do in Fiji we found Coconut Grove and our Fiji stopover turned into a separate vacation in paradise. Firstly, the people on Taveuni and at the resort are absolutely wonderful. Everyone was as friendly and accomodating as could be and smiles are certainly a permanent part of the Fijian wardrobe. Ronna, the owner runs a tight ship and every detail is covered and taken care of. You know that you're going to a unique, home-like setting when she sees if you have room for any items from the states for the staff! The facility is very well taken care of and although it is not a ultra-super-mega resort by any means, thats not what you would come here for anyways and we both thought would have ruined the location and the vacation. By all means, take the Lavena Coastal Walk by bus, and Simone, the guide is a real treat! There is a plentiful amount of things to do and see on this relatively small island so plan accordingly. Both my wife and I thought the food was to die for! Amazing dishes come out of that kitchen and the island flavors combined with other ingredients are well composed. I could write for ages and being back home for a little, both my wife and I find our minds drifting back here! We will certainly have to make our way back and hopefully the bridge to Wairiki will be back in, and the bus won't break down on the way to Lavena, (at Bouma Waterfalls nonetheless) but these experiences are part of the "island life" and we wouldn't have traded anything for it! Thanks Ronna and everyone! -Paul and Britni from CA

My sister and I stayed at Coconut Grove for a week and LOVED IT. Ronna treats her guests just the way you would want to be treated while on vacation. She serves the best of everything; this includes accommodations, FOOD and service! She expects the same of every service or day trips she recommends. If she said "do it"; we did. Each and every day (and day trip) was a wonderful experience. Her rates were SOOOOO low, it amazed us! Thank you Coconut Grove Beachfront Cottages for such a charming introduction to Fiji and "The Garden Of Eden Isle" Taveuni.

This is a great place to stay in Taveuni and Fiji for that matter. The food is top notch and the staff is awesome. Serah, Kata, Rosie, Bimla, Vina and everyone really...all are great and eager to help! And to top it off, all we had to do to snorkel was walk twenty yards to the ocean. Great lovo and local musicians too and very easy to set up day trips to bird watch or get to the water falls. Chris D

Coconut Grove is an excellent eco-resort on the charming island of Taveuni. It is situated on a lagoon with beautiful grounds and includes all of the usual activities; swimming, snorkling, kayaking , diving opportunities or. . . doing simply nothing. It is small, has only three well-appointed bures with all the comforts including outdoor stone showers. The staff is warm, welcoming, superbly attentive but not intrusive and the attached restaurant serves excellent food. We took all three meals there and appreciated the time it gave us to indulge in activities or il dolce far niente. The outlook from the bures is the lagoon and ocean in the distance. The reefs are pristine and very accessable for those who don't want to exert too much energy.. . or those who do. We also highly recommend the Lavena Coastal Walk and a visit to the village. Taveuni is a most Fijian Island and well worth a visit from those who would like to experience the non- mega resort Fiji. We give it 5 stars.
